Kids love Halloween parties. They get to dress up and be who ever they want. Fantasy play is great at this age. I have gathered together a collection of games that would work well for kids as well as tweens and teens during this Halloween season. They are perfect for home parties and would work well at school parties also.

Personally, my favorite thing to have at a Halloween party isHOME MADE ROOT BEER!

Tip for carbonation: put in a triple size plastic container (1/3 liquid and 2/3 air) and put the lid on tight. The pressure will dissolve more into the mix and make it fizzier. Otherwise have Club soda to add for carbonation. If you let the root beer fog too much you will loose the carbonation. Bring several pounds extra dry ice and put in as you are serving in order to let the kids see the fog affect.

You must keep the root beer from freezing. Dry ice is -109.3°F and it will freeze the liquid. Add extra water if freezing starts. Do not ladle Dry Ice into cups. Put regular ice directly into cups for additional cooling. For different ideas add dry ice to grape juice and pineapple juice for a goolish witches brew.

If you are in charge of the school carnival at this time of year, many of these games can be adapted to be played in a booth.

Halloween should be a fun night and a safe one. For information on how to have a safe Halloween for the kids, check out these Safety Tips.
